Customer Reviews

Excellent little chopper that could
This attachment came with my blender, and I'd call it a chopper rather than a food processor (there is no top load to add stuff while you are mixing, or top blade for slicing) but it's a very capable chopper. I got rid of my big bulky food processor and put this under the counter, saves me tons of space. As a chopper, it's excellent. The blades may look small, but they perform well. Luckily I haven't dropped mine, so can't comment on the durability of them. But it doesn't look very heavy duty in contrast with the jar that came with the blender itself - which is glass and very nice.

My only recomendation would be to look at getting the attachment that has the top loader. It costs more, but I often find myself adding stuff to this chopper and having to stop and twist off the top to do it. It's a little more work is all. Unfortunately if you want the top/slicer grator from Oster, the only one I found was the one that comes with the Fusion model. It looks like an excellent combo, but I'm not ready to upgrade my blender at the moment and unfortunately it doesn't look like Oster sells that food processor attachment seperately.

Anyway, if you just want a chopper then get this one and save a few bucks. Just don't drop it!

Not sure everything was in the shipment.
I purchased this food processor accessory. When I received it, in a timely manner, packaged securely and undamaged, all that arrived (to fit my older 1980s Osterizer blender) was: adapter base, S-blade that fits over that, processor bowl that fits over that, and flat cover on top. However the manual that comes with it shows it should also include another blade shaft and a slicing/shredding disk that fits over that, and cover with feed tube plus a food pusher. From the original ad I understood it to be a complete unit, since I needed something to suffice as a food processor. I searched amazon but found no ads for the missing parts.

The other thing I was not happy about was that it does not fit snugly onto my older Osterizer base like my original glass blender jar and like the original shredding/slicing unit. It concerns me that this new food processor base wobbles around, and you have to hold the handle firmly with your hand. I don't have to do that with my older attachments.

Also, be very careful because the blades are EXTREMELY sharp. I just touched it while wiping it with a dishrag, and it sliced my thumb. Not at all advisable for children to remove and or wash it. But then most blades of this sort are indeed very sharp, as they should be, otherwise they wouldn't work as effectively.

I'm undecided if I'm going to keep this unit or not, especially since it doesn't come with all the things I thought it did, and because it doesn't fit snugly into the base.

Plastic lid is very cheap
I haven't even had the chance to use this attachment (to make curry paste) before the lid fell off a very low shelf. One of the side catches broke off from a 1' fall. The plastic food processing unit that came with the blender is much more substantial/thicker plastic than this. Plus, I would have expected a longer blade to accommodate the larger volume.
